Glory all the way

Chapter 216
Looking earnestly at Princess Nanyang, Ruozhen gestured at her a few times, Princess Nanyang looked back at Bai Yingluo and said, "Ruozhen said, she likes you very much too, and I hope you can come to the palace to play often in the future."

It's just the first time they met, they didn't say a few words, they just said that they like themselves, only children can be so frank and simple, right?
But in the capital, eight-year-old children have already learned to read people's minds like little adults, and even if they like it, they will not say it. In comparison, the two children who are like porcelain dolls in front of them are really It's so attractive, and I can't blame Princess Nanyang for loving them so much and not being willing to let them go through those gossips.

Bai Yingluo's smile became brighter, "I also like Ruozhen and Ruozhu very much. If there is a chance, I invite you to my house to play, okay?"

Startled for a moment, Ruozhen pursed her lips, smiled and shook her head.

In this situation, what is there that Princess Nanyang does not understand?
She cares for the two children, and the two children may see it in their eyes and remember it in their hearts. Therefore, they are well-behaved and sensible, obeying the arrangement of Nanyang Princess, and restricting their scope of activities to Nanyang Princess. within the allowed range.

Feeling pain in her heart, Princess Nanyang raised her eyes to look at Bai Yingluo, her heart moved involuntarily.

There are only Du Xuan and Bai Yingluo in the No. [-] Scholar's Mansion, which is not as complicated as other houses. The servants of the outer courtyard and the backyard will never enter the courtyard where the two live without permission, and those who follow Bai Yingluo to serve closely People must be reliable.

In this way, if Ruozhen and Ruozhu can go to Zhuangyuan Mansion, there will be another place to play.

Children of this age are most curious and love to move. Thinking of their obedient and quiet behavior at any time, Princess Nanyang cherishes them even more.

Patting Ruozhen's hand, Princess Nanyang said softly, "After Madam Du has made arrangements, let her pick you up to play at her house, okay?"

Opening her eyes wide, Ruozhen seems to be asking: Really?Is it really possible?

Ruozhu got up and jumped up happily, at the same time, she made a few gestures at Princess Nanyang.

On the side, Han said with a smile: "Ruozhu's mouth is so sweet, mother-in-law is the one who loves you the most."

Bai Yingluo sat down with a smile, looked eagerly at her two sisters and said, "I'll go back and prepare the cakes, and I'll send you a post tomorrow. Please go and play, okay?"

The two sisters nodded like chickens pecking rice.

Bai Yingluo looked back at Han Shi and Tan Shi with apologetic eyes, and said, "I would like to invite the First Concubine and the Young Madam to do me a favor and sit down together, but I was a little abrupt."

First invited the two children, and then invited the two of them by the way. If you were someone else, you must feel that Bai Yingluo acted out of order, and Han Shi and Tan Shi were used to their parents-in-law who were cold and unwilling to make friends, so it was rare to see them There is a lot of praise for Du Xuan and Bai Yingluo, and the reason for Ruozhen and Ruozhu's sisters is in it. They love their house and Wu, so naturally they will not be angry.

Immediately, the two nodded with a smile, as they accepted Bai Yingluo's invitation.

While the adults were talking, the two children listened quietly, and from time to time the two looked at each other and smiled, Ruozhen was quiet and Ruozhu was lively, just looking at the two of them felt pleasing to the eye.

But when Princess Nanyang asked about Bai Yingluo's fetal portrait with concern, Ruozhu immediately stared at Bai Yingluo's belly curiously, frowning slightly, as if she was saying: She is so thin, how could a baby fit in her belly? ?

The two sisters frowned in thought, as if they were alone, but they were indescribably serious. Princess Nanyang and the others looked at it, and couldn't help laughing.

Near the time of lunch, someone from outside came to communicate that Mr. Du from the Imperial Academy had come.

Du Xuan came to pick Bai Yingluo back home.

Princess Nanyang smiled gently, "Since that's the case, then I won't keep you in the palace for lunch."

Bai Yingluo nodded, got up and was escorted out by Mrs. Tan.

In the afternoon, Bai Yingluo sent Chen Xiang to the Nanyang Prince's Mansion to deliver the post, and at the same time, asked Liu Su and Liu Ying to give orders. On the second day, the servants everywhere were not allowed to move around.

On the second day, just after Si time, the carriage from Nanyang Palace arrived.

Bai Yingluo made thorough preparations, Princess Nanyang and her party got out of the carriage, then changed into a soft sedan chair, and carried them to the yard of Yixin Garden before getting off the sedan chair.

As soon as Ruozhen and Ruozhu got out of the sedan chair, they saluted Bai Yingluo with a smile, and then they held hands and jumped and played in the yard like little butterflies, not showing any unfamiliarity.

There is a small rockery on the left side of the yard. Although it is late autumn, the water in the eyes of the rockery is still flowing slowly, and the two of them chased and frolicked around the rockery.

Bai Yingluo instructed Liusu and Liuying: "Take care of the two young ladies, and bring them into the house for snacks later."

Instead, Bai Yingluo respectfully invited Princess Nanyang and the three into the house.

Hearing that Princess Nanyang said that the Empress Dowager's birthday is over, she and the prince will leave the capital to go outside, Bai Yingluo said enviously: "The princess's carefree life is better than being a fairy, it really makes people jealous. .”

Princess Nanyang smiled, but she didn't say anything, but there was clearly a bit of bitterness in that smile, as if she remembered the miserable days of homelessness in the past.

Bai Yingluo knew she had made a slip of the tongue, and was thinking about how to remedy it when the curtain of the room was raised, and Ruozhen and Ruozhu ran in blushing.

Calling the little maid to bring water in and help them clean their hands, Bai Yingluo smiled and said, "Have some cakes, and I'll take you to the backyard for a swing, okay?"

The two nodded happily, and when they sat beside Princess Nanyang, they became more and more cute, making both Han and Tan laugh.

Seemingly knowing that everyone was laughing at them, Ruozhen and Ruozhu lowered their heads in embarrassment, while still clinging to Princess Nanyang tightly, with indescribable dependence.

After lunch, Princess Nanyang and her party left.

Seeing Ruozhen and Ruozhu's reluctance, Princess Nanyang comforted them with a smile, "In a few days, Mrs. Du invites you, you can still come and play, okay?"

Ruozhen showed a pair of beautiful pear dimples, while Ruozhu turned around and blinked at Bai Yingluo.

In just half a day, Ruozhen and Ruozhu have grown closer to Bai Yingluo.

Bai Yingluo smiled and nodded, "In three days, I'll post a post. This time, I'll just invite you two sisters. Then, you can play as long as you want. I promise not to tell mother-in-law, okay?"

Although the two children could not speak, they affectionately called Princess Nanyang their mother-in-law.

Ruozhu nodded happily, and immediately realized that when Bai Yingluo said these words, her mother-in-law had already heard her, she immediately pouted her lips in annoyance, and looked at Bai Yingluo with a bit of coquettish anger. blame.

The delicate appearance of the two children immediately made several adults laugh.

When Du Xuan came back in the evening, he was quite nervous.

Afraid that Bai Yingluo would be too tired, he had already said in secret that Zhuangyuan's Mansion hadn't received outside visitors for several months, so even Bai Yingyun sent people to pass on the word several times that he would come to visit Bai Yingluo, but Du Xuan also used various methods to send word. The reason declined.

Now, when Princess Nanyang and her party came, Bai Yingluo would naturally greet her carefully, not to mention there were two children to take care of.

"I'm not tired, don't worry. Ruozhen and Ruozhu are really cute. Seeing them laughing makes me feel very happy. Grandma said that the mother is in a good mood, and the child in her belly can feel it too." Woolen cloth."

Consoling Du Xuan, Bai Yingluo told him that Ruozhen and Ruozhu's appearance was different from others.

Sure enough, Du Xuan was stunned for a moment, "Is it because they have similarities with Yuzhuang children that you approached them?"

A look of shame flashed in Bai Yingluo's eyes, "I originally approached them with a purpose, but now, I have really discovered their cuteness, so whether I can find clues from them or not, I will definitely Will treat them well."

"Protect them like Princess Nanyang, and let them only be happy."

Bai Yingluo added a sentence.

Three days later, Bai Yingluo posted another post. This time, only sisters Ruozhen and Ruozhu were invited. Princess Nanyang was also quite relieved. Apart from the wet nurse who had served them for many years, the sisters were no longer there. No one else.

It was Du Xuan Muxiu's day, when the two saw Du Xuan, they felt a little embarrassed, it could be seen that Du Xuan was not as rigorous as Nanyang King and Shizi, and the two gradually became more courageous.

After eating some pastries, Bai Yingluo took them to the backyard for a swing beside the grape arbor.

In the blue sky, there was no cloud in the sky, and the sun shone warmly on her body, making her very warm and comfortable. Bai Yingluo squinted her eyes and looked at the two children swinging in front of her, looking at their innocent smiling faces, but in her heart, there was a slight sadness. regret.

Wouldn't it be more perfect if this situation and this scene were accompanied by their clear laughter like silver bells?
Bai Yingluo sighed involuntarily.

"what happened?"

Du Xuan came from a distance and heard Bai Yingluo's melancholy voice.

Bai Yingluo pouted at the bright Ruozhen and Ruozhu who smiled.

Du Xuan comforted him with a smile: "Everyone has their own destiny, if they hadn't met the prince and concubine, they would have died long ago. It is a great blessing to be in the current situation. Always be content, right?"

Bai Yingluo nodded, and asked in a low voice, "What do you think, are they like the children who survived the fishing village in Bangcheng?"

Du Xuan frowned, raised his eyes to look at the two sisters who were playing alternately by the swing frame, his eyes couldn't help but become deep.

After a while, he said with some uncertainty: "In the village, some children were born in the same way, but I'm not sure if they are from Bengcheng. Even if they were, they were born before and after the tragedy. , In this way, unless their parents are found, this clue will be useless."

If she had known this would be the result, Bai Yingluo was not surprised at all.

Seeing Ruozhu playfully waving at her, Bai Yingluo raised her arm and waved at her. Turning her head, she said softly, "Maybe, for them, not knowing anything is also a kind of happiness."

Du Xuan smiled and hugged Bai Yingluo's shoulders.

Beside the swing frame, the nurse who heard Bai Yingluo and Du Xuan's words, tightly grasped the grape frame with one hand, her hand was full of veins, revealing the tension in her heart.
